That was a pretty short 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: lived brand new show name with LeVar and I running 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: things around here with Brady Quinn out. We came up 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: with Black and Drack, obviously a play on words, me 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: being Dracula and LeVar being well black and Levar's not here, 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: He's got to catch a flight. So he will be 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: going to State College, as he mentioned before, and he's 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: going to be doing some things in State College, PA. 24 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: So I'll be taking you again all the way up 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: for the next couple of hours here toward till the 26 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: end of the show here on FSR. But I did 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: notice this, and I think it's important to point this out. 28 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to point out the obvious, and I 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: wanted to point out the obvious for somebody in the 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: NFL because this is crucial, crucial to this story. So 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: today is Friday the thirteenth. Now I don't know exactly 32 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: if Friday the thirteenth is still a thing. I don't 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: know if that's something that people look at and go, 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's almost a full moon. It's Friday 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: the thirteenth, you know, Is this an indicator that there's 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: going to be some sort of a weird event that occurs, Like, 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know if that's still a thing. 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: It's like horoscopes. I used to be into horoscopes at 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: one point in my life. And then I looked down 40 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: at the fine print and it said for entertainment purposes only, 41 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and I realized, oh, that's a waste of time, like 42 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: this is a waste of time to look at this 43 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: to determine what my day looks like. And then you realize, 44 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, the one for Pisces and cancer is the 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: same for Gemini. Just kind of twisted around the words 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: a little bit and you realize, probably all a load 47 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: of crap. But the date is important. The day June 48 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: thirteenth is important, and it's important to point out because 49 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: June thirteenth is a ways away from the NFL regular season. 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: We got some time here, we got time. Yet for 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: some reason, June thirteenth is important to the discussion because, well, 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to find the positives, you're trying 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: to find something you can feel good about when it 54 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: comes to one franchise, and that franchise is none other 55 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: than the Dallas Cowboys. Because I saw this thrown out 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: there on social media earlier this week, and I'm not 57 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: trying to air anybody out who's doing the reporting on this, 58 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: but I do find it a little bizarre. There was 59 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: a tweet that was sent out that said the following 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott went fifteen for nineteen with four 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: touchdowns during today's practice. What are we doing, dude? Like, 62 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like really, like, what are we doing? 63 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: Why are we box scoring this? Why are we going 64 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: down this road? Why are we having discussions about what 65 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's statlite is Unless you're one of these degenerate 66 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: flunkies who can't get enough of fantasy football, so you 67 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: got to do fantasy training camp football, which is a 68 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: whole nether level of degenerate. That's all. That's like the 69 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: guy who you know, his kid comes to him when 70 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 1: he's graduating, turns eighteen. He graduates, like, Dad, you know 71 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: anything he got for me? So I can? Yeah, I 72 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: mean I would have loved to, but I played fantasy 73 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: training camp football back in the day and I lost 74 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: my ass. So I don't know what to tell you. Your 75 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: college savings, whatever I had for you, all that's gone. 76 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: But here we are June. It's June thirteenth, and we 77 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: are box scoring Dak Prescott's fifteen for nineteen with four 78 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: touchdowns at Cowboys practice. We're not even a training camp, 79 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: we're not even an ox stard, and we're keeping score 80 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: of what Dak Prescott's doing. And it's not just a 81 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys thing. This happens around the NFL. It's going to 82 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: continue to happen. It's a major pet peeve of mine, 83 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: but hey, people love the NFL. It's all good. Got you. 84 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: It's also important to point out that it's June thirteenth. 85 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: It's Friday the thirteenth, so you know, with the season 86 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: being a ways away, that feels like a key detail 87 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: for one of the new arrivals in Dallas, and that 88 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: new arrival is George Pickens. But according to Dak Prescott, 89 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: anything that you've heard and anything that's been speculated about 90 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to George Pickens, don't buy it. Yeah. 91 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: I don't think that's why you should ever really listen 92 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: to what somebody else says about somebody. I think you 93 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: should judge everyone for not judge, but find out for 94 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: yourself who they are and allow them to reveal them. 95 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: They're their character to you. The guy, he's been great, 96 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: he's been phenomenal as the guy that loves football, loves 97 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: his teammates. He's been excited every day that he's been here. 98 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: He's been early, so no concerns on the personal matters 99 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: of GP and anything about it, just super excited that 100 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: he's on our team. He's he's one of us, and 101 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: he's a brother, and he's about continuing to grow and 102 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: make sure that we're putting the best out there. And 103 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: that's his approach. 104 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: Why don't we give it a little time, you know, 105 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: why don't we just give it, Give it just a 106 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: little bit of time. Please, for the love of Christ, 107 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: give it a little bit of time. George Pickens in 108 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was fined, I believe a little over two hundred 109 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for varying degrees of not meeting team standards. 110 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: Are this in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's got a pretty good track 111 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: record of knowing when to turn the page on a 112 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: disgruntled player or a disgruntled wide receiver. Pretty good track record. 113 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: It seemingly always turns out well for Pittsburgh. It doesn't 114 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: always turn out well for the other guy. So pretty 115 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: good track record. Kept a lot of things quiet and 116 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: decided we're good here. We got to move on from 117 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: George Pickens. And that was in Pittsburgh, where they do 118 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: a really good job also of keeping things behind closed doors. 119 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: You're not gonna hear a whole lot about it. And 120 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: that was in Pittsburgh where George Pickens wasn't in a 121 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: contract year, so to speak. He's now gonna be in Dallas, 122 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: which gets the most coverage maybe of any professional team 123 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: in sports from a national landscape. It's hard to find 124 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: anybody who gets more coverage in the Dallas Cowboys. He's 125 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: now in Dallas, and he needs to play well and 126 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: produce to get that big contract he wants. And it's 127 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: June thirteenth, and we're saying, yeah, I don't believe any 128 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: of the stuff you hear. Come on, man, like, you 129 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: gotta let this thing play out a little bit, and 130 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: you gotta let it play out a little bit, because 131 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: when it has played out, we've seen the results. There 132 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: was a story I don't know if this is true. 133 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is one hundred percent accurate, 134 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: but there was a story that was throwing out there 135 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: that George Pickens showed up. First of all, the one 136 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: that he showed up late for the Christmas game. That's true, 137 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: I'd like that, you know, we believe that that's true. 138 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: There's also another story that he showed up like twenty 139 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: minutes before kickoff. He walks onto the field, or he 140 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: walks into the building and he's eating a Twizzlers and 141 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: he says, my bad, there was traffic. Okay. Now I'm 142 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: more of a red vine red rope guy myself. Twizzlers 143 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: pretty overrated. Feels more like, feels a little bit too 144 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: too gimmicky. If you ask me, like that's something you 145 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: would get into, you know, it would be at the 146 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: bottom of the Halloween bag when you get home. It's 147 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: like that, or you know, the Whoppers, the three pack 148 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: of Whoppers you got from some neighbor who's a cheap ass, 149 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: who's had him sitting around since their aunt died four 150 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: years ago. But the point is he's in Dallas. 151 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: Now. 152 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: You can't escape any of this stuff. It's going to 153 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: be a story. Even people that don't have drama fall 154 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: into drama in Dallas. You can't escape any of it. 155 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: You got former Dallas players that are telling you, Yeah, 156 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird. We're trying to work out, trying 157 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: to get a lift in, trying to hang out in 158 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: the building, and they've got tours going on. We feel 159 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: like zoo animals. There's people walking around. George Pickens can't 160 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: get away with any of this stuff. It's a different 161 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: environment altogether. So You've got a lot of evidence here 162 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: to suggest that this is going to go really, really poorly. A. 163 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: It's George Pickens. Nothing against the guy. He's phenomenal, he's fantastic, 164 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: but a little bit of a wild card, I think 165 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: we can say entertaining as hell, but a little bit 166 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: of a wild card. So you've got that. You've also 167 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: got the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to move on, 168 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: and they seem to make pretty good decisions when it 169 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: comes to wanting to move on, as we've laid out before. 170 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: And you've got the coverage of the Dallas Cowboys. None 171 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: of it matters what's happening on June thirteenth at all, whatsoever. 172 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: We're going to get to week four, Week five, Week six, 173 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is still going to be the number one receiver. 174 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: He's going to be the number one target. Jake Ferguson's there. 175 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: You've got guys that have built a rapport with Dak Prescott. 176 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: You mean to tell me George Pickens in a contract year, 177 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: knowing what's on the line, generations of wealth potentially if 178 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: he plays well and plays up to his potential, You 179 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: mean to tell me that same George Pickens isn't going 180 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: to have an outburst or two, isn't going to have 181 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: an issue or too with not getting the ball enough, 182 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: Like we really believe that, and Dak Prescott's do it 183 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: as and he's laying it out as well. Listen, look, 184 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you know anything you hear, you can't really believe. 185 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: I could tell you my son is the most well 186 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: behaved guy in the world, Like he is the best man. 187 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: He's the best right when he arrives to the park, 188 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: he's the best, excited, energetic, happy, loves being there, great kid. 189 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: An hour later, I want to call the SWAT team 190 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: borderline violent, cranky, upset, hungry, tired, annoyed, sick of me. 191 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: Just give it a little bit of time. It's not 192 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: really about the arrival. It's about the departure. Okay, give 193 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: it a little bit of time with George Pickens when 194 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: you're covering the Cowboys. Give it a little bit of 195 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: time before we start breaking down what Dack's stats are 196 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: in training camp. And give it a little bit of 197 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: time because it is Dallas, before we start just anointing 198 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: everybody is a Hey, it's a drama free team. It's not. 199 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: It never has been. And when you add all those 200 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: factors in surrounding George Pickens, something tells me there's going 201 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: to be a dust up sooner rather than later.

Lead to lap Our, executive producer. 232 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: What are we starting with here on this Football Friday? 233 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 5: Well, there, Jonas, we could go around the league, and 234 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 5: how about we start here in Jacksonville, where Trevor Lawrence 235 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 5: has been seen playing with, you know, an arm sleeve. 236 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: He had an opportunity to address that. Take a listen. 237 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, to think about it. I hadn't thrown since before Otia, 238 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 6: since December so or really yeah, December, So it was 239 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 6: about four months of not throwing. And that's like I've 240 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 6: never I don't know the last time. I couldn't tell 241 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 6: you last time. I didn't throw up for four months, 242 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 6: I guess four years ago when I got surgery. So 243 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 6: I think just going from that through. I started throwing 244 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 6: a couple weeks before we started the off season program, 245 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 6: but then we jumped into practice in heavy volume, and 246 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 6: I think just over time. You know, obviously you got adjustin, 247 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 6: got to get in shape for that. So just a 248 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 6: little bit of soreness. The compression helps just relieve some 249 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 6: of that. But that's all it is, So nothing I'm 250 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,239 Speaker 6: concerned about. 251 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: Was there any thought that maybe he got injured jumping 252 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: out of the painting in Ghostbusters? Too? Was there a 253 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: thought that maybe that's how Trevor Lawrence got injured? Also, 254 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, for a division that has been ridiculed for 255 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: being uninteresting, maybe the worst division in football, the AFC South, 256 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: they're off to a hot start because now you've got 257 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence who's dealing with soreness. C. J. Stroud was 258 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: dealing with general soreness, Anthony Richardson's dealing with something. Is 259 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: any quarterback in that division healthy? Is this just like 260 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: an AFC South thing? Like every quarterback in the AFC 261 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: South dealing with some sort of a soreness? Then you 262 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: got cam Ward, who's the number one pick in the 263 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: draft and gets less coverage and less discussion than a 264 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: fifth rounder in Shudor Sanders. Kind of a strange turn 265 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: for the AFC South there. 266 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: You know Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters too. Rock's quite 267 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 5: a nice little shoulder pad himself. 268 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He was wearing shoulder pads in that. 269 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 7: Yea. 270 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: Why the way is any a real historical figure? Is 271 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: that made up for the movie? 272 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 3: You know, look at it. I think it's a real thing. 273 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: Well, no, I think it's fakeh They called him a sorcerer. Okay, 274 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 5: I don't think sorcerers are real things. 275 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: I've heard varying reports on that as to whether or 276 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: not it's it's real or fake. What else we got? 277 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 5: Well, and just you know, just while we're there in Jacksonville, 278 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 5: mister Travis Hunter, he's practicing on both sides of the 279 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 5: field yesterday for the first time. You know, the first 280 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 5: two two days he was either on offense or defense. 281 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 5: Yesterday he was doing both. 282 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's get this thing going. Like you're 283 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: if you're the Jaguars and you're trying to sell your team. 284 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: One of the more entertaining interesting things to watch this 285 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: year is Travis Hunter in the NFL. If you're the Jaguars, 286 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get him out there as 287 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: often as possible. If the guy could return kicks, get 288 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: him out there to return kicks or punts. Just get 289 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: him on the field, get the ball in his hand, 290 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: and let people watch the talent that is Travis Hunter. 291 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 5: And his Madden rating is only seventy six, but that's 292 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 5: kind of off, you know, typical for rookies. 293 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: But fans that are hoping for a. 294 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: Lot, can't you manipulate the Madden ratings? 295 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 5: Well maybe typically with video games these days, they can 296 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 5: update as they go along, so his ratings might start 297 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 5: shooting up. 298 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: I don't know about how much manipulate it. 299 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 5: I haven't gotten a Madden game in years, but I 300 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 5: used to get him every year. 301 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, listen, man, not my thing. 302 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 5: Yeah ever, uh, jonas going around the league. Let's keep 303 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 5: it in the AFC South. How about this with the Colts. 304 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: We know Anthony Richards, he could he at least wait 305 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: till Lrena, you know, spitz in her spatoon. 306 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, sorry Lreta, please there you go, thank you. 307 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, we know obviously that Anthony Richardson is out indefinitely 308 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 5: with his injury issues. 309 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: I believe it's his shoulder. 310 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 5: Well, Shane Stiken took an opportunity to back the current quarterback, 311 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 5: Daniel Jones. 312 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: Take a listen. 313 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 8: Very pleased for what we got right now. He's been 314 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 8: doing a hell of the job. Really smart football player. 315 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 8: I learned the offense very quickly, making really good decisions 316 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 8: out there through Ota, so obviously want to carry that 317 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 8: over to training camp. But he's done a really good job, 318 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 8: great command in the huddle, ultimate bro. 319 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: I mean, like, if you're Shane Steichen, you have to 320 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: hit your wagon to ANDW Jones, because he tried hitching 321 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: his wagon to Anthony Richardson and we've seen how that's 322 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: turned out. Not great. He's either not on the field, 323 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: or when he is on the field, he decides he 324 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be on the field, he takes a break. So, 325 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: if you're Shane Steiken, if the Colts don't I mean, 326 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: if they're not a playoff team, if there's not significant 327 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: growth for the organization, I'm assuming that it's going to 328 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: be the end of the road for Shane Steiken. And 329 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: who knows if he ever gets an opportunity again. You know, 330 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson had the issues early on, he tried to 331 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: rely on Gardner Minshew. So now if you're Shane steike 332 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: and you're looking at Daniel Jones going, dude, I'm just 333 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: hoping I could depend on him, and maybe Daniel Jones 334 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: an approve it. Year goes on a heater and all 335 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Colts are a potential wildcard team 336 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: in the AFC, and it saves his gig, but he 337 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: doesn't really have much of a choice. He doesn't like 338 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: it feels like they've kind of told you what they 339 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: think of Anthony Richardson by going out and signing Daniel Jones. 340 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: And then before you even get to training camp, Anthony 341 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Richardson pops up with an injury. And so now Shane 342 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: Steikin's looking at Daniel Jones going, that's the guy that's 343 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: gonna either save my job or that's the guy who 344 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: is either is gonna potentially cost me a job because 345 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: I can't depend on the quarterback we drafted in the 346 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: top five. Seems pretty cut and dry for Shane Steikin. 347 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 5: From the South to the East, how about this, how 348 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 5: about with the Jets. Jets quarterback Sauce Gardner became eligible 349 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 5: for contract extension this offseason. Obviously, he was the defensive 350 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 5: rookie of the Year in twenty twenty two. He made 351 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: back to back all Pro teams. Had a little bit 352 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 5: of a slip last season, but so did all the Jets. 353 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 5: But he's looking for a new deal. He's hopeful that 354 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 5: one gets done, but he said he just wanted to 355 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 5: show up to Mini caamp to show my teammates and 356 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 5: my coaches how much I want to win. 357 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 3: I want to be part of a change in this organization. 358 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean, even the Jets can't screw this up. This 359 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: feels this feels obvious. Get a deal done. They've never 360 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 1: done a deal with a first round pick after three years. 361 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: They've never you know, I just said, hey, listen, after 362 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: three years, we're going to give you a contract extension. 363 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: We'll give you the money you're looking for, and we're 364 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: going to get and pay you like the top of 365 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: the market. Stingley is the guy who reset the market 366 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: at the cornerback position. Sauce Gardner has been fantastic. Another 367 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas draft pick that seemingly looked like a pretty 368 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: good draft pick. But for some reason, Joe Douglas lost 369 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: his job and was doing draft night coverage with US 370 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: here and did a phenomenal job, and now he's with 371 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. I just if you're the Jets, you 372 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: need to build around your own guys and start to 373 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: rid yourself of the narrative that surrounds your organization. The 374 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: Jets are looked at as a team that is going 375 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: to constantly screw it up. Woody Johnson's going to constantly 376 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: get in the way. He's going to constantly do something 377 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: to damage or hurt the potential of this team. You've 378 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: got Sauce Gardner, He's shown he can play. He's a 379 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: dependable guy, no drama, no issues off the field. To 380 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: pay the guy, get it done and then move on 381 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: and hope that you can build around him and some 382 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: of these other young stars. 383 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 3: Keep it in the East. 384 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 5: From New York Jets to the Miami Dolphins. Did you 385 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 5: know that the Dolphins have two Polynesian quarterbacks? 386 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: Really? 387 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? 388 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 5: To attack Offy Law and Zach Wilson and Toua was 389 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 5: just as surprised as you are. Yeah, if you might 390 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 5: remember that in twenty twenty, Zach Wilson won the Polynesian 391 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: College Football. 392 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: Player of the Year award. 393 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 5: You know he's from Hawaii, is Hawaiian ancestry. His dad 394 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 5: is half Polynesian. Zach Wilson's Polynesian. Jack Wilson is Polynesian. 395 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 5: Take a look at his dad and you'll see. But 396 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 5: you can't see. I suppose. 397 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: So we don't need to wait for like twenty three 398 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: and meter where you can spit in a tube and 399 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: send it in the mail and have somebody come back 400 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: and tell you like you're Lithuanian and you're like, what 401 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: do you mean? I was born in Guadalajara, Like what 402 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: are we talking about here? Zach Wilson's Polynesian. 403 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 5: Yep, Well, I guess a quarter Polynesian at least. Uh, yeah, 404 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 5: that counts. Yeah, that does count. What do you try 405 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 5: to say it. 406 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: Doesn't count quarter Polynesia. 407 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 3: I'd say it counts. 408 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 5: And so does the NCAA apparently, or at least b why. Yeah, well, 409 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 5: you're right, he's in the he's in the Polynesian Football 410 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. 411 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: And so Tua was surprised to we didn't know that. 412 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: Two we didn't know that. 413 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 5: Now they have a little something to you know talk 414 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 5: about Apparently they do talk about him growing up in Hawaii, 415 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 5: where's where they went to high school, where his dad 416 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 5: went to high school, all that stuff. 417 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: They have a lot in common. 418 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: By the way, Zach Wilson. I don't know if she 419 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: still does it, but Zach Wilson's mom used to have 420 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: a a wild Instagram account where she would just uh, 421 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: I think she went on a rant about hump Day 422 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: and just how she felt about hump Day in general. 423 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: And it was not u. I don't even know if 424 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: it's suitable for us to play, but it wasn't. I mean, 425 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: it was like she wasn't being raunchy. She just was 426 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: simply pointing out, you know, what you shouldn't shouldn't do, 427 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: And so I don't know if that's still a thing. 428 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: But look, Zach Wilson, he got paid. He's going to 429 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: be the backup to Tua Tagovailoa, and maybe he'll get 430 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: his opportunity. And if you're the backup quarterback there, you 431 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: got to be on call because you never know when 432 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: Tua is going to go down with an injury. And 433 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: maybe Zach Wilson will finally get his opportunity. In a 434 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: somewhat serviceable organization to prove that he can still play. 435 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 3: Jonas. 436 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: How about this? 437 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur was asked about, you know, they're going to 438 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 5: be playing versus the Steelers. I believe sometime in November 439 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 5: week eight. 440 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we gate. I think October twenty fifth is when 441 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: Rogers versus the Packers is going down. 442 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 3: I know, I was trying to circle a game. 443 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 5: I would be going to a Packers game this season 444 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 5: out in Green Bay. 445 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 3: Unfortunately it will be in Pittsburgh. 446 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 5: But Matt Lafleur was asked about eventually playing against his 447 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 5: former future Hall of Fame quarterback. 448 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 3: Take a listen me, so. 449 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 7: That it'll be a great challenge for us. We all 450 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 7: know what type of player he is and how good 451 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 7: he is, and I'm sure he'll be telling everybody all 452 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 7: our signals. So we'll have to, you know, maybe play 453 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 7: that mind game with him a little bit. 454 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: All right, So, did Matt Lafloor and Aaron Rodgers have 455 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: a dicey relationship? Lead you're a Packers ball washer, do 456 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: did Rogers and Lafleur have any sort of an issue. 457 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: I don't recall them having any sort of dust up. 458 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: Or anything like that, right, Nothing, that was out of 459 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 3: out of usual. 460 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 5: Sometimes they kind of make light of sometimes where they 461 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 5: were yelling at each other for Matt Lafleur calling a timeout, 462 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 5: not trusting Aaron Rodgers, stuff like that. 463 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Rogers was in the league. 464 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 5: For longer than I think Matt Lafleur even, but the 465 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 5: typical kind of coach quarterback. 466 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: I seem to remember Rogers having more at least open 467 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: or public dust ups with Mike McCarthy than he did 468 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur, like it seems. And maybe that's because they 469 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: were together longer, but it seems like the Matt Lafloor 470 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers dynamic. And I don't even think. I don't 471 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: think Rogers is on bad terms with the Packers like 472 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: this doesn't. This doesn't And I know he didn't go 473 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: to Minnesota, but even if he went to Minnesota, this 474 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like when Brett Farv left. Like I just, 475 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: I don't know that people look at Rogers with any 476 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: sort of vitreo on Green Bay unless I'm just reading 477 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: it wrong. 478 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say vitriol. 479 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 5: No, Definitely, it seemed like he wanted to leave more 480 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 5: than say, when Brett Farv wanted to leave. 481 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: Brett Farv did them dirty obviously. 482 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 5: By going to Minnesota and kind of created a lot 483 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 5: of bad blood that way. 484 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 3: But he was forced out. He wasn't. 485 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 5: He didn't force his way out like Rogers seemingly did. 486 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 5: I think he did a good job with the pr 487 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 5: of making it seem like it was a mutual parting 488 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 5: of the ways, but it kind of was the same thing. 489 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 5: They were ready to move on from Rogers to go 490 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 5: to Jordan Love, and I think the fan base understood that. 491 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: I mean, he did say he was open to the 492 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: idea of retiring after a one day contract with the 493 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, so there is a there is that. I mean, 494 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: if anybody's interested, Rogers is open to retiring as a 495 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: packer with a one day contract, and look, he's going 496 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: to go into the Packers Hall of Fame. Uh far 497 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: I had to wait what like five years until after 498 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: he retired to be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame. 499 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: I think Rogers goes in a year two years after 500 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: he's done, I don't think. I don't think it takes 501 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: that long. And I think he's been pretty positive about 502 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: how he feels about Green Bay and just the environment 503 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: in the atmosphere there. And I think, and we've said 504 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: it before this show, I think that's part of the 505 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: appeal going to Pittsburgh is he realizes I was just 506 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: I was just in a circus tent. There was a 507 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: lot of chaos, there was all the dysfunction. I want 508 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: to go to a place that's going to be more 509 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: resembling of what I had in Green Bay. And that's 510 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: why Pittsburgh makes all the sense in the world. I'm 511 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: called it two years after Rogers walks away, he's going 512 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: to be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame. Put 513 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: that Knox loss. 514 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 7: Dud. 515 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: It's Jesus, is that a real spit? Soon? What else 516 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: we got? 517 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: Jonas, take a look at your phone. 518 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 5: I'm not sure if I sent this to you yesterday 519 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 5: or not, but Jason Kelsey big fan of an Eagles 520 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 5: new tattoo where he is. 521 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: Posing, I should say. 522 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: With the nude in the nude, with this tattoo with 523 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: the the Eagles head covering his his downstairs. 524 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 3: Bathroom or serving as yeah, serving as. 525 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 4: Look. 526 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not one to judge. Tatto. Is that 527 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: his tattoo? 528 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 3: No, it's okay, but he says he's a big fan 529 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: of it. 530 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 6: All right. 531 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: Look, I'm not one to judge tattoos. I've got two 532 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: tattoos and that's three too many. They're terrible, But that 533 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: seems less than ideal. That seems like one of those 534 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: ones you're gonna look back on years from now and go, 535 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: what the f man? If people are more open minded 536 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: to tattoos. Back in the day, you used to if 537 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: you worked at a restaurant, you would have to cover 538 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: up your tattoo. If you had any visible tatto twos, 539 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: it would have to like, you'd have to cover it all. 540 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: Now people just walk around in you know, business casual attire. 541 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: They've got a full sleeve. Nobody cares they've got tattoos 542 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: on the neck. Nobody cares. Like it's just not a 543 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: big deal anymore. It's not looked down upon. And I've 544 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: said this before. Uh, you know, the Cowboys do have 545 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: training camp and ox Stard right around the Oxnard area. 546 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: There's this place called Portwine, Mesa, a small little town 547 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: near near ox Stard, and there's a there used to 548 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: be a tattoo parlor. There was called Jimmy's Tattoos, and 549 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: it's where I got one of my tattoos done, and 550 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: I also got a piercing or a two piercings done 551 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: there Lebrett and a cartilage piercing. And I remember walking 552 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: into the US There's nothing cool about that. They was 553 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: still sort of terrible. It was terrible. But I remember 554 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: walking into too Jimmy's Tattoos and just asking them like, hey, 555 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: do you guys do any free tattoos? Because their tattoos 556 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: are expensive, like I think an hour. It used to 557 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: be like one hundred and twenty bucks an hour, and 558 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 1: if you're there for five six hours, you're told like 559 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: it's in upwards of a grand for even like a 560 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: low end just basic tattoo, just depending on how long 561 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: it takes. And I remember asking the guy Jimmy's Tattoos. 562 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: I was like, hey, do you guys do any free tattoos? Like, yeah, 563 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: the one over on the wall, and it was a 564 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: picture of OJ's mug shot. So if you wanted a 565 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: free tattoo, the only one they would offer for free 566 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: was OJ's mug shot. And at that point nobody had 567 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: done it yet. But now the guy's dead, maybe I 568 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: people look at it and go, you know a little 569 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: bit of a tribute to OJ. So I'll say this, 570 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: I think I'd rather have the OJ mugshot than Jason 571 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: Kelcey and the nude still with his elbow sleeves on, 572 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: but a Philadelphia Eagle head covering his cranks. That seems 573 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: a little. 574 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 5: Bizarre and more accurate. A quote from Jason Kelsey more 575 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 5: flattered than offended. It's a generous bird with a good 576 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 5: sized head. 577 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: All right, there you go. All right, So that'll conclude 578 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: this week's edition of the Top of Ground up here 579 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio.

They really care 589 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: about their money so much so that they're willing to 590 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: risk it all.

Coming up top of next 596 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: hour about fifteen minutes from now. Gonna try and defend 597 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: somebody who got a little bit of criticism over something 598 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: that took place last night. Got a little bit of 599 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of blowback, if you will, harmless innocent joke, 600 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: and you know, turned out poorly for somebody in the 601 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: world of sports. So we will defend that individual. Coming 602 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: up here a little over fifteen minutes from now on 603 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio.

So there's a constant theme or story in 609 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: the NFL that is just bizarre to me. I don't 610 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: get it. I legitimately don't understand it, and I don't 611 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: want to spend somebody else's money. Like I'm not trying to, 612 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, pocket watch anybody or get in and you know, 613 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: try and criticize how anybody spent Like listen, man, however 614 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: you want to spend your money, that's your business. Spend away. 615 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: Like if you don't want to spend your money, that's fine. Listen. 616 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: I get my balls broken all the time for my 617 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: ability to not spend money. Right. I drive a truck 618 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: that's almost twenty years old. It's got like three hundred 619 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: and eighty five thousand miles on it. I mean, listen, 620 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: I wear sweatpants. What do you want from me? Like, 621 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just like, what are we doing here? 622 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: It's four forty seven in the morning out where we're working, 623 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: and I don't really you know, cars for me, it's 624 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: like whatever, it's dependable, it's easy, I trust it. I'm good. 625 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: I got a Tacoma, I'm good to go. We're fine. 626 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: So I never try and get in anybody's pocket or 627 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: spend their money. But then there's a level of cheapness 628 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: that must be discussed, right, because a lot of people 629 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: get criticized for how much they spend. Remember Vince Young, 630 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback. There was a report that he spent like 631 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a week at cheesecake factory. Like I mean, 632 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: first of all, very easy to do. There's seven thousand 633 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: pages on the menu. Easy to do, all right, But 634 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: his spending habits got him a lot of criticism. And 635 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: then there's people that don't spend money that you go, 636 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like you could splurge a 637 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: little bit from time to time, you know, maybe feel 638 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,239 Speaker 1: like you could splurge every once in a while. The 639 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: NFL owners and their unwillingness to put in all grass 640 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: fields in their stadiums is mind boggling to me. And 641 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: that's all it's about is money. That's all this is. 642 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: It's a cost. And this got brought back up over 643 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: the past couple of days because there's the World Club 644 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: Cup Group stage soccer event. It's taking place at MetLife 645 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: Stadium this weekend, and the NFLPA, via their X account, 646 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: noticed it in a tweet and responded, you know, in 647 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: a pretty passive aggressive way. I mean, you know, why 648 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't you This is something you've been demanding, this is 649 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: something you've been asking for for years and years and years, 650 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: and they just put looks nice dot dot dot hashtag 651 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: safer fields, and you can look at that and go, well, look, 652 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: I mean you got other things to worry about. But no, no, no, 653 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: just think about why this is not happening. All of 654 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: your employees, all of the people that help make your league, 655 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: the billions of dollars that it makes, they're all saying 656 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: the same thing. Hey, we need safer fields. We need 657 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: to all play on the same surface. It's got to 658 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: be natural, like, this is what we want, natural grass, 659 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: we don't want synthetics. And yet for some reason there's pushback. No, 660 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: well it's you know, it's the cost of it all. 661 00:34:54,680 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: You're not making enough money, but you're not making what 662 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: would cost you more paying a player who goes down 663 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: with an injury, or paying a player who increases his 664 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: odds of maybe not getting injured because he's playing on 665 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: a better surface. It doesn't make sense on any level whatsoever. 666 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: And for some reason, Nah, listen, well, you know this 667 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: is and if you're the NFLPA and you're some of 668 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: these players, you're looking at it going so wait a second. 669 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: You can roll in the good stuff for a soccer event, 670 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: but we're the ones who play there eight to nine 671 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: games a year and you go on the cheap It 672 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: just it doesn't make sense. And you can say on 673 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: the surface, no pun intended. Well, the amount of money 674 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: it will cut. Dude, if you're a restaurant, If you 675 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: run a restaurant and you have the opportunity to put 676 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: in an oven or some appliance that's going to make 677 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: your job more efficient and make your food better, wouldn't 678 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: it behoove you to do that? Like, wouldn't it make 679 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: sense for you to do that and want to do that, 680 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: especially if it's going to increase production and get better results. 681 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you want to do that even if it costs 682 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: you a little bit more. It's an invest you're reinvesting 683 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: into your product. You're really It's why when it doesn't 684 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: matter what job you have, whether you do construction, you 685 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: do radio, whatever, you're gonna want to get some equipment 686 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: to try and make your job better. If it's gonna 687 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: make your job easier, it might cost you a little 688 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: bit more upfront, but if it's gonna bring back returns 689 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 1: and bring back results in the back end, why wouldn't 690 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: you do it? And for some reason, the NFL owners 691 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: are like Yeah, I don't know. Pretty expensive, pretty pricey stuff. No, 692 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: what's expensive is a player's career going down the drain 693 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: after you invested a certain amount of money in him 694 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: because you didn't look after the field, especially MetLife, which 695 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: has gotten a bad rap for years. Remember the good 696 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: old days when the Giants and Jets played at a 697 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: stadium and the only thing we were worried about is 698 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: where Jimmy Hoffa's body was buried. Remember the good old days. 699 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: Remember the meadowlands. Now they've got met Life and they 700 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: can roll out the good stuff for the soccer event. 701 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: But for the football teams that play there, yeah, it's 702 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: pretty expensive. I just don't I can understand. Well, this 703 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: is why they're billionaires. This is why they're millionaires because 704 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: they're really good with their money. Okay, I get all that. 705 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: And they're better with their money than we are, and 706 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: that's why they're in the position that they are. And 707 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: I understand, well, if you can, if you can save 708 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: a buck here or there, but at a certain point, 709 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: it's not about the money you're spending. It's about the 710 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: money you're investing, and you investing back into your product 711 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: to get better results and to get better results from 712 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: your employees. Your employees are gonna be happier. I can 713 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: remember working at at a desk job, a sales job, 714 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: an over the phone sales job, and I swear to 715 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: God this is a true story. I swear to God 716 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: on this, and people that worked at that place with 717 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: me know what I'm talking about. The air conditioner broke 718 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: and instead of getting the air conditioner fixed in the 719 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: building in the middle of summer when we are sweating 720 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: our balls off, what they did was say, hey, here's 721 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: a perk. Anybody that reaches five thousand dollars in sales 722 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: before noon, you can wear shorts tomorrow. Like looking around 723 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: and going wait, what, Like we're not gonna fix the 724 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: ac that's not the problem. But if you reach five 725 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: grand in sales before noon, you can come in in 726 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: cargo shorts tomorrow. What just to save a buck? And 727 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: guess what, it worked. Everybody sold their ass off. You 728 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: had people walking in and like throwback Corduroller shorts, pe 729 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: shorts from eighth grade. 730 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 3: It worked. 731 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: So look, maybe the NFL's onto something, But at some 732 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: point it's okay to spend a little bit, especially if 733 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, maybe the employees will be 734 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: in a better mood or not tear their knees up.
